    Yes we are spending more on the dollar amount but the gallons they sell are the same, but I agree we should at least get a drink for our effort.

    Free coffee for the coffee drinker, but what about those that do not drink it?

    All my Canadian drivers get a TIMMY'S card with $30 loaded on it and topped up weekly so the TREATS are always FREE :)

    Yeah, they didn't even tell me. I went in for a coffee recently, told her as I handed my card to her that this was my free one. She said 'nope, 3 more'. I believe this was their 'hook em' strategy all along. Get the drivers thinking about that free coffee coming up then decrease the house disadvantage from 80% to 89% lol but they are still making a killing per cup of coffee.

    What I do like is the combo club. It is always nice to swipe the card for the big Wendy's large combo to find out it is free.

    Honestly, I have waited as much at TA and Pilot as I have at Loves. You stand there staring at a TV screen wondering when your number will come up. I even had a TA desk worker tell me once they were shut down because the guy who cleans them didn't come into work that day. I always prefer to deal with a person and at Loves the price is right...free and unlimited.

    So because you don't get something free, you are being "ripped off" or taken advantage of? What an entitled bunch.

    And to think a revolution started, in part, because of tea.

    Coffee isn't really "free" if you have to buy 9 to get one .
